Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented dune 201, 19Min Application med August 4, 1915. Serial No, @3,65%

To all @from t may concern:

Be it lknown that l, JULIUS A. Dloscnd Narr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Camden, in the county of Kershaw, State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Head- Rests for Barbers Chairs; and I do herehA declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable other skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and uselthe same.

rlhis invention relates to improvements in head rests, and particularly to devices for use by barbers in holding a childs head while cutting the hair.

@ne object of the present invention is to provide a simple and novel device of this character which can'be readily applied te the arms of'a chair.

Another object is to provide a device of this character which will hold the childs head up in the proper position, and which will hold the bodyerect. y

' 'Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when with the accompanying drawing.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a front elevation of the' ,device attached to a barbers chan.I Fig. 2 is a side""elevation of they same. Fig. 3 is a top plan View, and Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view on the line 4.--4 of Fig. l. 4

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents the arm of a barbers chair.' A horizontal arm 1l extends transversely of the chair and is provided with a rubber cover jaw lll which engages the upper side of the chair arm. A second jaw 12 extends beneath the chair arm and carries a clamp screw 13, provided with a rotatable head 14 for engagement with the under side of the chair arm. Thus, the -top and bottom faces of the chair arm are protected from the jaws of the clamp which se- -niernber l5 is nary barbers curely hold thev arm 1l in proper positionH An angle member has one of its arms slid ably disposed through the inner end of the arm, and adjustable by means of the screw 16. Carried by the horizontal portion of the a vertically adjustable post 17, the upper end of which is provided with a chin rest pad 18. Carried by the horizonk tal arm 'of the angle member is a pair of pads 19 which are arranged to bear against the back of the Childs shoulders to hold the child forward from the back of the chair, and in an erect position. j

All of the parts are adjustable so that the barber can place the child in any position desired, and which will facilitate the easy cutting ofthe hair.

@ne principal feature, to 'which attention is particularly called is the chin rest, by means ot which the childs head can be held up. 'The general tendency 'of a child is to llower its head forwardly, and while-in this position, it is very difficult the hair inirent.

fvlhfe'device is simple in construction, and

easy of operation, and can be quickly and easily attached to or detached from the ordichair without any modications to the chair or its parts.

`What is claimed is.:

A device for holding a childs head While in a barbers chair, comprising an arm detachably secured to the arm of the chair, a vertically and horizontally adjustable chin rest carried by the arm, and shoulder pads also carried by the arin 'for engagement with the backs of the childs shoulders to hold the child in an upright position.
